Overview

Oisicle Melonpan (Oishiku Melonpan) is a three-piece Japanese rock band that has taken the indie scene by storm with its sparkling, sophisticated sound. Formed in 2015, the trio—consisting of Nakashima (Vocals/Guitar), Minegishi (Bass), and Hara (Drums)—quickly rose to prominence after winning the “RO69JACK 2016” competition. Their music is characterized by intricate guitar melodies, rhythmic basslines, and lyrics that evoke a sense of nostalgic, shimmering blue, a theme often reflected in their tour titles and aesthetics.

Background

Oisicle Melonpan (Oishikuru Melonpan) is a three-piece Japanese rock band from Tokyo, formed in 2015 by bassist Shousetsu Minegishi, vocalist/guitarist Nakashima, and drummer Shuntaro Hara. The band is highly regarded in the indie and math-rock scenes for their intricate, technical instrumentation—specifically their prominent, melodic basslines—and Nakashima’s distinct, airy vocals. Their sound is often described as a blend of refreshing pop sensibilities and complex rhythm structures, which has earned them a loyal following and millions of views for hits like “Iromizu” and “look at the sea.”

Their appearance at VIVA LA ROCK 2026 is a highlight of the festival’s most historic edition to date. For the first time in its 13-year history, the festival has moved outdoors to the grounds of Saitama Stadium 2002 due to renovations at its usual home, the Saitama Super Arena. Oisicle Melonpan is scheduled to perform during this four-day Golden Week extravaganza (May 3–6), bringing their sharp, “unapologetic” indie rock sound to a massive open-air stage. This transition to a stadium-scale outdoor venue provides a unique, high-energy atmosphere for the band to showcase their evolution alongside the biggest names in Japanese rock.

FAQs

What does the name “Oisicle Melonpan” mean?

The band’s name, Oishiku Melonpan (Delicious Melon Bread), was chosen by Nakashima because he simply liked the sound of the words. Despite the playful name, the band is known for its very serious and technically complex approach to indie rock music.

What is the difference between “All Standing” and “Reserved Seats”?

“All Standing” venues like Sendai Rensa involve general admission where you stand on the floor; entry is usually based on a serial number on your ticket. “All Seats Reserved” at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA means you will have a specific chair assigned to you.

Is there a mandatory drink fee for these club shows?

Yes, for the live house shows (Sendai, Kanazawa, Gifu), a separate drink fee of approximately 600 yen is required at the door in cash. In exchange, you will receive a drink token. This is not required for the hall show at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA.

How should I prepare for the festival shows like JAPAN JAM?

Festival shows are held outdoors and feature multiple artists. You will need a festival wristband for entry. It is recommended to check the weather beforehand and wear comfortable shoes, as you will be standing and walking between stages throughout the day.

Can I buy band merchandise at the venue?

Yes, official tour merchandise is typically sold before and after the show at the venue. For popular items, it is recommended to arrive early during the “pre-sale” period (usually 2-3 hours before doors open) as popular designs often sell out quickly.
